Communications
for good. with impact. that connect.

Media strategy and content writing for organisations driven by purpose and big ideas.

Hydora Lane Communications is all about articulating and amplifying the great work you do.

I love helping teams, like yours, which have vision, big ideas and enthusiasm.

Teams working in areas like international development and aid, sustainability and health.

Together, we’ll craft compelling and strategic stories to connect you with the right people, get media attention and inspire action.

Here’s how I can help:

Media strategy to amplify your great work.

I’ll help you:

  • Identify and craft your newsworthy stories, and find a home for them in the media.

  • Develop clear messages and a compelling narrative about what you do.

  • Create valuable assets (words, videos and pictures) to bolster the story you want to tell.

  • Empower you to perform well in TV, radio and print interviews.

Content writing to articulate your great work.

Have me on your team to:

  • Create conversation-shaping content including opinion pieces, articles and personal narratives.

  • Look after key content projects like reports and magazines (and potentially find great media stories while we’re at it.)

  • Work on other communications and messaging projects which tell your story.

Hi, I’m Helen Dehen

A media relations strategist, writer, and founder of Hydora Lane Communications. 

For more than 15 years, I worked as a journalist in some of Australia and the world’s busiest and most respected media outlets. 

The BBC in London, SBS World News, 7 News Sydney and Sky News.

The storytelling skills honed in those newsrooms now drive the work I do at Hydora Lane Communications.

Some of the great clients I’ve supported:

  • “I can’t recommend Helen highly enough. She’s a fantastic communicator, an excellent writer, a great team player, a problem solver and a strategic thinker."

    Lisa Upton – Australia for UNHCR

  • “Helen is a brilliant partner - smart, effective and responsive. Her knowledge of the media is outstanding as is her strategic insight and counsel.”

    Vanessa Liell – Orizontas

  • “I knew Helen had a critical eye and would ask all the questions along the way. She offered great support and brought new ideas and concepts to the table."

    Talitha Cummins – The Cut Jewellery

Let’s start the conversation.

I’d love to hear about your project and how I may be able to help.
